Global Ultrasound Institute Revolutionizes Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training with New Initiatives

Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) Unveils POCUS E | Newswise

Partnership with e-Sono (3B Scientific) Delivers Unmatched Learning Experience with Over 1,000 Case-Based Simulations and Comprehensive Educational Resources SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 -- Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI), the leading provider of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education and training, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest innovation, POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation. This groundbreaking product is the result of a strategic partnership with e-Sono, a division of 3B Scientific, and promises to revolutionize ultrasound training by combining GUSI's premier learning resources with e-Sono's extensive simulation library. GUSI introduces Simulation-enhanced online POCUS courses POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation offers an unparalleled educational experience by integrating GUSI's complete learning library, which includes POCUS Essentials Courses across acute and primary care, pediatrics, obstetrics, and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Learners can now access detailed training on over 30 anatomical regions through hundreds of lectures delivered by leading POCUS experts. "POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation is a significant leap forward in ultrasound education," said Dr. Mena Ramos, co-CEO of GUSI. "Our collaboration with e-Sono allows us to offer a truly immersive learning experience that combines high-quality content with cutting-edge simulation technology. We are excited to provide healthcare professionals with the tools they need to excel in real-world clinical settings." The product also features advanced case-based clinical integration developed by POCUS clinical experts, along with robust anatomical coverage, including cross-sectional imaging. The inclusion of e-Sono's comprehensive Sim Library, featuring more than 1,000 case-based ultrasound simulations, allows learners to practice scanning techniques and visualize pathology in a dynamic, interactive environment. "The integration of digital simulation brings clinical anatomy and ultrasound images to life by allowing clinicians to see and correlate them in real time," says Dr. Nicholas LeFevre, a fellowship-trained, active POCUS educator and Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Missouri. "POCUS is an essential extension of our clinical evaluation. To master it, we must immerse ourselves in simulation-based education that reflects real patient care." - Sahar Ahmad. M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Medical Intensive Care Unit at Stony Brook University Hospital; Director, Ultrasound & Critical Care Education; Chair, Ultrasound Education Task Force, Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University In addition to its educational resources, POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation includes all the features of GUSI's ScanHub learning platform, such as Sage AI for on-demand expert answers, the ScanFolio device-independent scan archive and feedback system, a performance dashboard, and QBanks with thousands of questions and pathologic videos. The program is eligible for over 50 hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, further enhancing its value to healthcare professionals. Fourth year med student at Touro University California Medical School Jori Enfield adds, "As a medical student, the POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation has been a great addition to my POCUS training. The interactive design has helped reinforce key concepts and boosted my confidence in identifying and interpreting anatomical structures through real-time ultrasound practice. The ability to practice independently, without needing an ultrasound model or instructor, provided both convenience and an effective way to build my skills. This program has greatly enhanced my ability to integrate POCUS into clinical rotations." Dr. Kevin Bergman , GUSI co-CEO added, "POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation sets a new standard for ultrasound training. The combination of extensive lectures, dynamic and interactive simulations, and expert clinical integration prepares learners for real-life applications in a way that traditional methods simply cannot match." Global Ultrasound Institute stands at the forefront of point-of-care ultrasound, providing wraparound education, training, AI, and administrative software tools to healthcare providers and health systems globally to lower barriers to POCUS adoption and implementation. GUSI has trained over 14,000 healthcare practitioners in over 60 countries. GUSI is working to create a better world in which every healthcare practitioner is empowered to offer a rapid, reliable, accurate ultrasound-enabled diagnosis directly at the point-of-care, for any patient, anywhere. About e-Sono (3B Scientific): e-Sono, a division of 3B Scientific, specializes in advanced simulation technologies for medical education. With a focus on providing high-quality, interactive learning experiences, e-Sono supports the development of essential clinical skills through its extensive library of case-based ultrasound simulations and educational tools.

Global Ultrasound Institute Launches GUSI Fellowsh | Newswise

Newswise -- SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) is proud to announce the launch of the GUSI Fellowships Platform, an innovative online platform designed to empower learners around the world to achieve confidence and competency in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). With a holistic, device-independent approach that includes comprehensive evidence-based education, personalized mentorship from world-class POCUS educators, detailed scan review feedback, quantitative assessments, and CME certification, GUSI is setting a new standard in POCUS education. "GUSI's online didactics are the best that I have seen. And what I like most about the fellowship were the 1:1 sessions and being able to interact with GUSI expert faculty who have many years of experience in POCUS. And you get to pick their brains and they get to instruct you 1:1. I have used the training I received from GUSI to do much more POCUS clinically and further impact my patients lives." Dr. James Wilcox, Assistant POCUS Director, Indiana University School of Medicine Adjunct Professor and Assistant Professor of Medicine "Our mission at GUSI is to democratize access to high-quality ultrasound training," said Dr. Kevin Bergman and Dr. Mena Ramos, Co-CEOs of Global Ultrasound Institute. "The GUSI Fellowships Platform enables learners from diverse backgrounds to enhance their skills in a supportive, flexible environment, making it easier than ever to reach their POCUS goals." With training options covering 38 different scan types, learners can expect personalized 1:1 mentorship with expert POCUS educators who provide timely feedback on practice scans. "The GUSI fellowship mentors are the best: patient, kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed to obtain and in my home/office environment not requiring multiple trips around the country. It is not just the way course work is presented - learning is made easier by the support provided to each student." Dr. Glenda Patterson Core Faculty, University of Arkansas Northwest Internal Medicine Residency Physician, Veterans Health Care of the Ozarks Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine The GUSI Fellowships Platform features a scalable software system designed to monitor and track performance, ensuring learners can effectively measure their progress. GUSI understands the challenges faced by healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their ultrasound skills amid demanding schedules. GUSI addresses these concerns with flexible scheduling options, allowing learners to progress at their own pace while balancing their professional and personal commitments. This adaptability and virtual experience is crucial for fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development. "I went from not being able to hold the probe to someone who can scan and diagnosing and finding pathologies. I worked with Dr. Milne-Price and she was amazing! She sharpened my skills and we did sessions of live scanning over Zoom. I feel confident in my skills now to scan on my own." Dr. Dalea Al-Hawarri Faculty, Bryn Mawr Family Medicine Residency As healthcare continues to evolve, the demand for proficient ultrasound practitioners has never been greater. GUSI is not only committed to providing exceptional education but also aims to inspire a new generation of healthcare professionals who can leverage POCUS to improve patient outcomes globally.
